  • Panic in the shop!

    This weekend I thought I had finished all the machining on my toolholders. Yesterday, I had to remake the height adjustment disks. I had made them 1.12 in diameter, this interferes with the screws that hold the tool in place. The size of the Aloris adjuster disk is 0.980. I remade the disks at 1.0.…

  • Harrel v. Raoul, Illinois PICA challenge

    The case was distributed for conference on 2024-06-06. This is the fourth time it has been distributed for Conference. I still consider this to be good news.

  • A Site Visit: Wright Museum of World War II

    Yesterday, the wife took me to the Write Museum. It was a bit of a drive, but it was worth it. Having grown up visiting museums with my parents, I have expectations of what a museum is. This did not have that feel to it. According to the front desk, the museum came into existence…

  • It’s just a little stick, or carry everywhere

    Things appear to be getting more and more spicy out there. When I leave the house for any extended period of time, I change into my jeans with a 1911 carried IWB. I had tried carrying with a WWII reproduction load bearing suspenders, belt, and holster. I found that comfortable. Unfortunately, when I sit the…

  • False Flag Outrage

    For decades, the left has been winning in judicial appointments and, from that, in the courts. Our republic was set up to encourage political experiments within each state. Each state could pass laws as their citizens wished, if those laws were bad, people would vote them down or leave. Roe v. Wade was the Supreme…

  • NRA v. Vullo

    Today, the Supreme Court issued their opinion regarding New York’s lawfare attack on the NRA. For the reasons discussed above, the Court holds that the NRA plausibly alleged that Vullo violated the First Amendment by coercing DFS-regulated entities to terminate their business relationships with the NRA in order to punish or suppress the NRA’s advocacy.…

  • Another Tool!

    At this point, I have more tools than I have toolholders. This can be frustrating as I like to have “standard” tools ready to go. Just as an example: Four different shapes of right hand turning tools Chamfering tool Parting tool Shearing tool Facing tool (left hand) Grooving tool Right hand threading tool 3/8″ Boring…
